Baby health and safety: The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding until a baby is six months old. It is best to wait until your baby is a little older and breastfeeding is well established before expressing milk. Your baby should sleep in the same room as you for the first six months. Using duvets, pillows or cot bumpers in your baby’s cot is not recommended as they can pose an accident risk especially once your baby is able to roll and move. Please consult your healthcare professional for more information.
